Jesus Christ: God in Male-Human Flesh?
By: J.W. Wartick | September 8, 2015
How might someone’s view of gender impact the doctrine of salvation through Christ? I believe it does, and in significant ways. I will argue that if women are subordinate simply because they are women, then Jesus’ redemptive work can—in some fashion—not fully apply to women.
Biblical Sex: Patriarchy's Greatest Enemy (Part 1)
By: Jamin Hübner | September 8, 2015
Patriarchalism in most of its forms, whether in “soft complementarianism” or in the blatant sexism of popular Christian authors such as Douglas Wilson, Mark Driscoll, and others, has always found itself in a tight corner of the bedroom.
Sharing Humanity, Not Neutralizing Gender
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | September 5, 2015
Given male privilege, will my daughter’s aspirations and talents be welcomed? Will she have the same opportunities as males? Or will society shame her, accusing her of denying her femininity, as often happens?
Essential Relationships
By: Amy F. Davis Abdallah | September 5, 2015
The current cultural confusion regarding what it means to be a man or a woman and when or how one passes into adulthood invites the church to create rites of passage that disciple our youth.
Expressions of Humanity Directed by Christ: Variations on a Theme
By: Hilary Ritchie | September 5, 2015

Essentialists view gender as inseparable from one’s very being as human.
Editor's Note: Female, Male, and Humanity
By: Tim Krueger | September 5, 2015
If we believe God became fully human, we must also believe in a human essence that transcends the male-female divide. And it is this essence which God embodies in Jesus, a man, but a fully human man.
Puzzling Reflections: What It Means to Be Male and Female Humans
By: Amy R. Buckley | September 5, 2015
How different are men and women, really? To what degree are those differences hardwired? Are there limits to what science can tell us? What is the significance of God making humans male and female?
Book Review: Man Enough: How Jesus Redefines Manhood
By: Tim Krueger | September 5, 2015
Nate Pyle’s new book, Man Enough: How Jesus Redefines Manhood calls Christian men to disregard elusive cultural ideals of masculinity in favor of Jesus-like vulnerability, love, and relationship.
Book Review: Borderline: Reflections on War, Sex, and the Church
By: Rachel Asproth | September 5, 2015
Stan Goff’s Borderline: Reflections on War, Sex, and the Church offers a fresh, if controversial perspective on the relationship between the church, war, and patriarchy. Goff’s central argument is that war loving and women hating are ultimately two sides of the same coin, driven by the same fears that allow for the rationalization [...]
Promises, Promises: Questioning the Protection of Purity Culture
By: Kelsey Widman | September 2, 2015
We are more than our bodies. We are more than what we do or don't physically "give away." We are not well-oiled machines, defined by words like "malfunction," "deterioration," and "market value." We are complex and our value is not rooted in whether we do or do not retain our virginity.
